Chapter 756 Battle

On June 17, 1882, under the cover of the Austrian Navy, the five major theaters of the Anti-Turkish Alliance launched an attack simultaneously.

From the Caucasus to the Black Sea, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Middle East, there are battlefields that stretch for more than 20,000 miles, creating a record for the longest front in human history.

If Franz hadn't set his sights on the Iraqi region, perhaps Persia would have joined the anti-Turkish alliance.

Cold lips and teeth die?

nonexistent!

This is also a pair of old enemies. The history of the past will not be turned over. The refugee crisis after the last Near East War has made the two countries like water and fire.

After the outbreak of the Third Near East War, the Persians were also eager to try, but Austria did not take them to play.

Without the support of foreign powers, the Persian government could not bear the pressure of the British, and could only hold back its throbbing heart.

Albrecht was the only high-level leader left in the General Headquarters of the Allied Forces in Constantinople.

Perhaps the Ottomans looked weak, and everyone wanted to go to war, and Albrecht naturally couldn't hinder everyone's path to success.

Since the implementation of the divisional combat plan, he, the general commander, has become the head of logistics. Except for the Austrian army, other troops do not need to worry about him.

The bright sun shines through the window and shines into the house, another beautiful day.

All the high-level officials have left, and the coalition headquarters, in addition to the staff, is the representative left by the various countries.

The overall combat plan has been determined, and the specific implementation details are the tasks of each war zone, and the combat command has become more relaxed.

Before you know it, everyone's daily work has turned into receiving battle reports from the front line, analyzing and interpreting them.

Albrecht asked, "How is the landing operation going?"

A staff officer replied: "Except for a little trouble in the Marmara Sea Theater, the situation on the battlefield is very good.

The Russian army in the Black Sea Theater has successfully completed the occupation of Ava and Zonguldak, and successfully landed at the four ports of Inje Point, Samsun, Orshe and Rize.

In the Mediterranean Theater, our army has conquered Cesme, Datca, Finike, Kemer and other areas, and successfully landed at the four ports of Adalia, Anamur, Icher and Iskenderun.

The Greeks in the Marmara Sea Theater also successfully landed in Pendik, but they did not perform well after completing the landing, and the battle was still anxious.

The army of the Principality of Montenegro failed to land three times from Banderma, and Marshal Maxim Trentiev was planning a fourth landing. "

It is indeed a great success. It took only three days to launch the landing operation, and so many brilliant results have been achieved. It is really impeccable.

As for the small flaws in the Marmara Sea Theater, it is not worth mentioning at all. From the very beginning, Albrecht had no expectations for Greece and Montenegro, and these two small countries themselves made up the number.

This is not a question of hard work or not, the key is that their troops are limited and their ability to withstand casualties is limited.

Many people only noticed the brilliant victory, but ignored the bloodshed and sacrifice that accompanies it.

Looking at the map, Albrecht directly gave up his plan to go further. In a sense, this war was fighting.

The Anti-Turkish Alliance relied on its powerful strength to start besieging from all directions. Wherever the enemy was weak, it would break through. There was no technical content.

After thinking for a while, Albrecht instructed: "Report victory to Vienna, and by the way, copy a battle report to your ally."

...

The Allied Forces Command had already begun to report the victory, but Marshal Publius of Port Pendiq could not feel the joy of victory.

Watching the allies make great progress, but they are being beaten by the enemy here, this unpleasant feeling is only known to the parties involved.

At the military meeting, Publius slapped the table heavily and scolded: "See for yourself, this is how you can fight.

The fact that two infantry divisions were unable to conquer a small port and was pushed back by someone was simply shameful.

This is the battle report from the headquarters. From now on, we are the laughing stock of the coalition forces, and even three times the superior force cannot make a breakthrough on the battlefield..."

As the general commander of the Greek army, Publius was also under great pressure. I don't want to keep up with the level of my allies, but I can't be too far behind.

If the current situation continues, I am afraid that the war is over, and they are still staying in this small port.

Not to mention the spoils of war. It is estimated that the Austrians will still charge them for supplies. How can there be such a good thing just to eat and not work?

According to the agreement: the materials consumed in this war will be deducted from the loot first, and then everyone will divide up the subsequent profits.

There is no doubt that this is measured in countries. The strategic materials consumed by Greece will be converted into money and subtracted from their share of the benefits.

If you are not satisfied, you can do without the Vienna government to provide logistics, and you don't need to worry about this problem if you are responsible for it.

Regrettably, Greece cannot afford it. The labor expedition has never been an easy thing, and it can be called a gold-swallowing beast.

Don't look at the fact that Greece only sent more than 20,000 troops. As long as there is a fight on the battlefield, it will consume tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Aegis materials every day.

It is easy and effortless to destroy Greece's fiscal revenue for a year in one month.

Webb Velvet, the commander of the 1st Division, explained: "Marshal, it's not that we don't work hard, but the enemy's firepower is too strong, and our firepower is too weak, and we will be suppressed by the enemy as soon as we show up.

coastal area

During the battle, the Austrian navy provided fire reinforcements, and we had the upper hand. "

The same is arcane equipment, everyone's equipment level is not the same. The firepower equipment of each country is different. In general, Austria has the strongest firepower, and Greece and Montenegro are at the bottom.

In the era of hot weapons, the strength of firepower directly affects the combat effectiveness of troops. Greece itself is not rich, and it also maintains a navy, which makes the finances even worse.

After losing the threat of foreign enemies, the army began to release Nanshan, and the firepower of the troops was still 20 years ago.

No matter how decadent the Ottomans are, they have also experienced social beatings. After losing two consecutive Near East wars, the Sudanese government has become more and more focused on military construction.

There are fortifications to rely on, and they have advantages in firepower. Coupled with a stronger will to fight, the Greeks are not wronged.

Publius interrupted: "Don't make excuses for your incompetence, I have already applied to the coalition headquarters for the issue of firepower, and it will be resolved soon.

The most urgent task at the moment is to come up with a combat plan as soon as possible, to conquer Pendik in the shortest time, and to prove our strength to our allies. "

Under the law of the jungle, the strong eats the weak. If Greece wants to tear a piece of meat from Ottoman, it must prove that it has matching strength.

...

Compared with Publius' anger, the mentality of Marshal Maxim Trentiev on the other side is much more balanced.

In this war, the Principality of Montenegro is only here to make up the numbers, and there is no substantial requirement for dividing up the spoils.

The geographical location has blocked their expansion road. They are surrounded by Austria on three sides, and finally have a coastline. Unfortunately, the opposite side is the territory of the French.

If you want to expand, no matter how you go, it is a copy of hell. In the face of the cruel reality, the Principality of Montenegro made a very wise choice to give up its ambitions.

There are many purposes of participating in the war, such as: revenge on the Ottomans, by the way to boost the morale of the people, and increase the prestige of the government.

Another example: in order to increase the sense of existence, so as not to be forgotten by the European world.

Or simply to gain the favor of the Vienna government, the strategic security of becoming an ally will be guaranteed. This is the way of survival for a small country.

Maxim Trentiev deeply understood Albrecht's orders, and it was enough to contain the enemy's forces. As for the siege of the city, that is the task of the allies.

failed to login? It doesn't matter, regroup and continue at another location. As long as the number of casualties is well controlled, you can do whatever you want.

The record is not important, everyone has no expectations for them, and no one will blame them if they lose.

The biggest contribution of the Principality of Montenegro to join the alliance is not to send troops to fight, but to strengthen the momentum of the anti-Turkish alliance politically.

After the landing operation began, Maxim Trentiev frequently changed the landing site, each time with the help of the Austrian naval artillery bombardment.

After the tentative landing operation, the development could not easily break through, so they gave up decisively, and did not fight recklessly with the defenders.

The gunfire sounded, and another landing operation began. This is the second time that Maxim Trentiev has visited here, put down the telescope in his hand, and muttered to himself: "The time seems to be almost there."
